lMPRovEMENT IN PAyTALooNs.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 115,832, dated June 13,18.71.

To all Iwhom fit may concern:

Beit known that I, GEORGE R. HAGER, of Boston, Massachusetts, haveinvented anew and useful Improvement in Fishermens Pantaloons, of whichthe following, with the dra-W- ing, is a full description, the drawingbeing a front perspective View.

The object ot' my invention is to make sliermens pantaloons so that theyshall be adjustable to all sizes of men, and so that they shall excludethe Water from entering or pereola-ting down behind the front lap. Inthe pantaloons heretefore made the rear part is sewed to a waistbandwhich comes forward round the Waist, and is fastened in front by abutton and button-hole, and the front flap is furnished with abutton-hole inthe front eenter of its upper edge, which is secured tothe button of the waistband, While the nppercor- .ners ot' this Afrontiiap are provided with eyelet-holes for strings to tie round the Waistin rear. But no means of adjustment are provided for persons ofdid'erentsizes, and the moisture and water drip and Work their way inover the top ofthe fronttiap, and betweenthat and the waistband. Mypantaloons are made with a back and front ap alike, each being providedWith a waistband, one to be buckled in front, the other in rear.

In the drawing, A is the front and B the rear flap. C isthe waistband ofthe front, and D, that of tlie rearap. The pants, being drawn on thewaistband D ot' the rear or back ap, are buckled tightly round the Waistin front, and the waistband U of the front or belly iiap is then buckledtightly round the Waist behind. In this Way the front tlap, beingprovided with a waistband, comes up so as to cover the waistbandofthebaek tlap, (or it lnayreaeh aboveit, if desired,) and thuseft'eetually prevents an y Water from getting in behind the front iiap-amuch desired result-while both front and back flaps are adjustable toall sizes of wearers.

VVha-t I claim is- The'l'iantaloons, with similar adjustable Waistbandedfront and rear ilaps, substantially'as and'fot the purposes described.
